SACRAMENTO, CA - Once the announcement was made that the Kings would remain in Sacramento under new ownership of the Vivek Ranadive group, season tickets are once again in high demand.

Marcus Mann of Vacaville is just one of the thousands of Kings fans who pledged to purchase season tickets for the upcoming 2013-14 season, if the team stayed in Sacramento instead of relocating to Seattle. He and his wife Megan are first time season ticket holders and expecting their first child in August.
